Upon being inducted into the RRHoF, Hynde said ""I know that the Pretenders have looked like a tribute band for the last 20 years. That's a lot of years and a lot of bass players! However, after a baker's dozen Hobson declined in 2005, and since reclined into the chair is Nick Wilkinson. Some stickum on his butt, he held the bass chair for more than a decade as did the other hired guns The Pretenders were a band again. The slippery seat wasn't warmed by his butt for long before Smiths' Andy Rourke and Primitives' Andy Hobson were giving it a turn in the studio with Hobson going out on tour. So I looked up the word, achievement a thing done successfully by effort, courage, or skill There’s the dictionary definition of the word. And I guess my brain is hardwired to connect things like that to business. The '90's Pretenders launched, but by this time it's basically Hynde w/ hired guns and John McKenzie found his butt in the bass chair. The Pretenders were singing Mystery Achievement. The bass chair continued to spin with TM Stevens giving it a whirl. Next up was Malcolm Foster on Learning to Crawl. Tony Butler from Big Country is on the "Back in the Chaingang" cut. I realised I didn't know the subsequent bass players that well so I went digging.

You Tube vids show his replacement using an Aria Pro.Īnyway, what a blast it will be to rock these live at full volume!įarndon's replacement that emblymouse mentioned playing an Aria may have been Dean ∻obby Peterson, at least for the live stuff. The later stuff from after his days will be on my Jazz, a lot more modern punch in the sound on those recordings. He didn't use one but it sounds so right, this batch seems to roar and the 8 sounds like a freakin' freight train. ) I will use my Sadowsky Original P for the first bunch, switch to my Hamer 8 for some of the songs from the 2nd (Pack it Up, Day After Day, Message of Love and Talk of the Town). (Weren't any 5 strings basses back in 79. I have discovered they used to tune down to at least D-check out the chorus of Brass In Pocket or Space Invaders.

They actually ran an ad in NME! I as too late as it turned out so here's my last chance!!Īs for 'ol Pete, hats off to ya mate! Some really strong foundational playing with more than a few odd twists. When I heard of Pete's passing I was on the horn to Sire Records to find out about auditions. After all these years it does not sound dated to me at all. I was working in a record store when it came out and it really hit me hard. God that 1st one is great! Not a clinker in the bunch. We are doing the entire 1st LP in sequence, then an assortment from the next 3. Mystery achievement dont breathe down my neck no i got no trophies on display i sign them away i mean what the heck all of your promises dont fill me with. Timely post- right now I am working up the setlist for a Pretenders tribute show next month so I have been immersed in the recordings.
